Lights out for Eversource (Letters)

Did you ever wonder how long it takes to replace a burned-out light bulb or repair some faulty wiring on a Springfield streetlight? Well, if you’re Eversource, it clearly takes at least four months. That’s how long it’s been since I first reported streetlights being out in the downtown area (you know, the area that’s supposed to appear bright and safe and welcoming to all visitors).

Yup, five lights out on State Street between Chestnut and Main, six lights out on lower Union right by the casino. And if this level of negligent maintenance exists downtown, I can only imagine what it’s like in other neighborhoods.

For years we’ve been told Eversource will do better. Is that so? Sorry, Eversource. Lights out.
